Marla why do you need to keep your mind off food? Are you keeping your calories too low and are really hungry? I don't know if it applies but I really concentrate on the yummy things I can eat instead of what I can't. Who wants a nasty old twinky etc when I can have a luscious square of 85% dark chocolate etc. Hope that made sense

Do you maybe need a little "me" time? A nice bath, a novel etc???

Awww hugs! I'm sure no matter your weight you were never ugly! Congrats on the new size! If I feel really like eating like a pig I pig out on boiled eggs etc. Sure I might eat 4-6 but I sure am full! LOL
